I can understand the problems involved with decidign what to do concerning organ donation (I am registered myself) but to make everyone a donor unless they opt out is an unwelcome incursion into civil liberties, IMO.

I am also a donor...if they can find any workable bits !Your last remark about civil liberties made me think. It is the last 'liberty' that can be taken from you. At least though, it may give someone a better life.

Jehovah's WitnessJehovah Witnesses believe donation is a matter of individual decision. However, restrictions apply pertaining to blood transfusion. According to the National Headquarters, the Watch Tower Society, Jehovah Witnesses are often presumed to be opposed to donation because of their belief against blood transfusion. However, this merely means that all blood must be removed from the organs and tissues before being transplanted. In addition, it would not be acceptable for an organ donor to receive blood as part of the organ recovery process.

Gypsies (Roma)Gypsies are a people of different ethnic groups without a formalized religion. They share common folk beliefs and tend to be opposed to organ and tissue donation. Their opposition is connected with their beliefs about the afterlife. Traditional belief contends that for one year after death, the soul retraces its steps. Thus, the body must remain intact because the soul maintains its physical shape.

ShintoIn Shinto, the dead body is considered to be impure and dangerous, and thus quite powerful. "In folk belief context, injuring a dead body is a serious crime …" according to E. Namihira in his article, "Shinto Concept Concerning the Dead Human Body." "To this day it is difficult to obtain consent from bereaved families for organ donation or dissection for medical education or pathological anatomy…(T) he Japanese regard them all in the sense of injuring a dead body." Families are often concerned that they not injure the itai - the relationship between the dead person and the bereaved people.

i don't know that how we can donate the body organs...is that is match with the other people.i think its a best thinking due to this the life of the other people will be safe.according to the search that human can donate every body organ.is this possible or not???

In terms of civil liberties, the current way is only slightly "better" then the proposed way as long as the process of registering your exception clear and without loop-holes. In terms of saving lives with these organs, it will make a huge difference in time it takes to make sure you have approval to use them and are able to inform those receiving the organ to prepare for surgery. It might also be a thing of pride for those with religious objections to wear a bracelet saying that they are not donors and include a registration number of their complaint. This might not work though if they also object to "jewelry" and tattoos (such as some Hutterites/Mennonites) but that is just an option... body identification still needs to be done. If you have seen the Max Headroom shows and pilot movie, you will know of another potential problem (but this is a "slippery slope" argument) in people being killed and then sold on the black market under a fake name for their organs.
